The return journey of the second expedition went smoothly without any setbacks.
After returning to the outpost, they received a warm welcome.
"Captain Yue, thank you for your hard work."
Base Commander Zhao Chen held Yue Heng's hand tightly and said sincerely: "The motherland will never forget your sacrifices!"
This exploration operation can be said to have been a great success. The value of a large mine is immeasurable. The most important thing is that all expedition members are safe and sound.
Zhao Chen knew very well that Yue Heng took most of the credit!
Yue Heng smiled and said: "It's serious, we are just lucky."
The really lucky one is Shenzhou. The astral reflection of the cs001 star gate is located in the livable zone of Taiji star, which has a very good environment for development.
Most fortunately, a large energy stone deposit was discovered in the early stages of exploration.
It is only a few tens of kilometers away from the outpost.
Although Yue Heng doesn't know the situation of other countries exploring the astral world, he will not be more lucky if he thinks about it.
As long as it is properly developed, this cathode energy quarry can fill the energy crisis caused by the failure of nuclear energy in China within a few decades, and drive technological leaps in related fields.
And is there only this one energy stone mine on Tai Chi Star?
Obviously impossible!
Not to mention other star realms, the resources on this Taiji star alone can feed China for hundreds of years.
Of course, after starting to march towards the sea of ??stars, there are not many resources.
Yue Heng took out the collected ore from the storage space, and then said to Zhao Chen: "I plan to go to Yongzhou District to explore, and it will take three or four days to come back."
"Eternal day area?"
Zhao Chen was taken aback immediately: "Are you alone?"
One side of the Taiji star is always facing the star it surrounds, so it is divided into the eternal day area, the eternal night area and the day-night separation zone,
The average temperature in the Yongzhou area is as high as seventy to eighty degrees, and the highest may exceed Baidu, which is completely unsuitable for human survival.
However, according to the analysis of the researchers, there are also alien life in the eternal day zone, which is more dangerous than the day-night zone!
Now that Yue Heng said that he was going to explore the Yongzhou District, Zhao Chen subconsciously wanted to dissuade him.
Too dangerous!
"Yes."
Yue Heng said: "Major Zhao, you don't have to worry about my safety, I have the ability to protect myself, and I will not risk my life as a joke."
Zhao Chen pondered for a while, then nodded and said: "Then you must be careful."
First of all, Yue Heng's strength is obvious to all. He is also the kind of reckless and impulsive person, and it is obviously not a temporary fever to make such a decision.
Secondly, although Zhao Chen is the commander of the base, he has no right to ask Yue Heng to obey his orders.
The Tai Chi Star Expedition Team is actually independent.
Knowing that Yue Heng was going to Yongzhou District, the expedition team including Lu Tai couldn't help but feel worried.
However, they also knew that following them would only become a burden to Yue Heng, so they could only send blessings.
After resting at the outpost for half a day, Yue Heng embarked on a new journey of exploration alone.
According to the coordinates established by the outpost, he headed west all the way.
The western hemisphere of Taiji star belongs to the eternal day area.
Therefore, the temperature is higher the farther west you go, but the sky also becomes brighter.
Yue Heng traveled very fast, he was like a vigorous cheetah passing through the dense forest and heading straight for the destination.
During the running process, Yue Heng constantly released his mental power to deter those ferocious beasts lurking in the forest.
Tired and exhausted, he stopped to rest for an hour or two, supplemented with food and water to restore his physical strength and spirit.
On the way, I also met a few guys with short eyes, all of whom were beheaded by Yue Heng.
As he continued to move away from the outpost, the woods gradually became thinner, and large areas of shrubs replaced the forest. After crossing two mountain ranges, the vast Gobi was in front of him.
The temperature here has climbed to more than 40 degrees, and there is a scorching breath in the air.
The stars that seem to be several times larger than the sun hang high in the sky, emitting infinite light and heat.
Yue Heng looked around, and then took out his big g from the storage space.
The terrain of the Gobi is very flat. Although there are scattered boulders everywhere, with the big g off-road ability, as long as you bypass these guys blocking the way, you can still play a considerable role in transportation.
Driving on the road is better than carrying a big wife??Running is much more comfortable.
So for the first time in this lonely wilderness, the roar of a car engine sounded.
A lizard-like animal more than half a meter long was alarmed. It carefully poked its head out of the cave where it was hiding, and watched the big g go away not far away.
Driving this off-road vehicle from the earth, Yue Heng went deep into the Gobi.
The ambient temperature continued to rise, and the Gobi gradually turned into a sandy land.
When he walked around a boulder tens of meters high, the sight in front of him was shocking.
I saw a skeleton as white as jade scattered in the sand, densely packed and countless.
The large skeletons are more than ten meters high, and the small ones are four to five meters high. Many skeletons have been naturally weathered and decayed, but there are still many remaining parts.
From a distance, it looks like an expeditionary skeleton army!
Arriving here, Yue Heng had to get out of the car and walk.
Because the big-g tires were deeply trapped in the quicksand, it became very difficult to continue driving forward.
In addition, driving a car is not conducive to his exploration.
Yue Heng chose to come to Yongzhou District alone, of course he was not full of food.
He wants to find the anode power stone.
Generally speaking, if there is a cathode energy stone in a star world, there must be an anode energy stone.
The anode energy stone is an excellent fuel, and it can also be used to make powerful weapons. With these two energy stones, Yue Heng can create the first-generation battle mech.
Compared with powered exoskeletons, mechs are the most powerful equipment for exploring and conquering the star world!
But so far, Yue Heng has not found a single anode energy stone.
But he was not in a hurry.
The previously discovered cathode energy stone mine is like winning the lottery, which belongs to luck that can't be met.
Normal exploration can take months or even years to pay off.
Or get nothing!
Yue Heng has enough patience, even if he can't find the anode energy stone for a while, he can increase his understanding of this planet.
Walking through the "forest of bones", Yue Heng felt like walking in the corridor of time.
I don't know how many years these skeletons have existed, and I can't imagine what they have experienced
A sense of danger suddenly arises.
Without thinking, Yue Heng swung the Xuanjie horizontal knife, and a lizard that had just jumped out of the sandpit and opened its bloody mouth to bite him was instantly split in half.
The sneak attackers are hiding under the sand, and their attack speed is very fast.
However, under Yue Heng's super perception, its existence was invisible, and it paid the price of its life for its actions.
After beheading the lizard, Yue Heng put away his weapon and continued to move forward.
His exploration in Yongzhou District has just begun.
